Fable II Signature Series Guide

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Computers and Internet
by: BradyGames

October 13, 2008
I've bought a lot of game guides. I was glad to see that this book is well-printed. I've had a lot of game guides which pages so badly blurred they're illegible. Not a problem here.

However, the one feature I keep picking up this book for is the one feature it's missing. Maps. In my review of the game I mentioned the poor quality of the mapping. The book doesn't help. It gives you the hidden stuff, which is nice, but it doesn't give you the "meat-and-potatoes" of the game, such as the stores, the houses, the things you can buy...

The book does detail the quests pretty clearly. So if you have no clue on how to follow a dotted line on the screen to your various objectives, then I guess this book will help you. ... Read More:

Pro C# 2008 and the .NET 3.5 Platform, Fourth Edition (Windows.Net)

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Computers and Internet
by: Andrew Troelsen

November 12, 2007
I bought both the Beginner and Pro versions of the book. As a 28 year experienced programmer with no experience in ASPX, I needed a book with tons of code examples. This series is the opposite of what (I feel) most programmers need. The authors substitute tons of verbal exposition for working code samples. Worst of all, they barely mention data objects which is by far the most important aspect of C#/VB programming. I wish some ASPX/C# guru out there would produce a book with nothing but code. Chapter headings, yes, and nothing else but thousands of working code examples using database (SQLServer) and objectdatasource and data objects. If the book you are considering stops at coverage of the SQLDataSource (instead of covering the newer and ... Read More:

ProBlogger: Secrets for Blogging Your Way to a Six-Figure Income

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Computers and Internet
by: Darren Rowse, Chris Garrett

May 05, 2008
Darren Rowse and Chris Garret draw upon their wealth of experience with blogs and give us this comprehensive blogging primer.

While the book is mostly focused on making money from blogs, it starts from the beginning: by explaining what is a blog and how to set one up. This takes about three chapters (if you have already started a blog, you can just skim through those sections).

Intermediate bloggers will enjoy the book more from chapter 4 on, when Darren and Chris talk about how and what to write (helpful to overcome the all-too-common "writer's block") and how to make money from your blog (both directly, like with advertising, and indirectly, as with partnerships, speaking engagements, etc).

The last few chapters ... Read More:

Excel 2007 For Dummies (For Dummies (Computer/Tech))

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Computers and Internet
by: Greg, PhD Harvey

December 26, 2006
I returned this book because in the opening pages, I read: "Do not buy this book if you have an older Excel on your machine or it will just confuse you." I have an older version, so it was no help.

Call Of Duty: World at War Signature Series Guide

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Computers and Internet
by: BradyGames

November 05, 2008
I bought this guide book to see what advantages I could gain from it. This book has many details about the guns, maps, bomb locations, flag locations, weapons classes, and it has walkthroughs of all the levels. If you are like me and love reading anything about the game when you are not playing or want to just get the extra advantage of your opposition, then you need this book! I rarely buy guide books for games and took a chance on buying this one...it paid off for sure!!!

Gears of War 2: Last Stand Edition Strategy Guide (Bradygames Signature)

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Computers and Internet
by: BradyGames

November 05, 2008
Well, if you're looking to buy this guide, this is definitely the best deal I could find. Even GameStop only offers 10% off it when you buy the game with it. The cover and extras are great for any fan or collector.

This is a clear, concise and easy to read book on HDR. I had purchased another book first and it was so complicated and confusing that I gave up. This book is absolutely the best on HDR
